PREFACE. 



In compiling this Digest the author has endeavored to make 
it, not the law, but a reference to the law, hence in all cases a 
reference to the printed proceedings must be had to ascertain 
exactly what was enacted or decided by the Grand Lodge. 

This work is dedicated to Bro. D. A. Cline, P. G. P., P. G. 
R., P. G. M., P. G. S., who, for the last fourteen years, has 
been annually elected and installed into the office of Grand 
Secretary of the Grand Lode of Nebraska, and to whom I am 
indebted for many kindly suggestions and much valuable 
assistance in the preparation of this work. His long term of 
service is a proof of his devotion and usefulness to the Order. 

No table of contents has been given, as the several subjects 
will be found following each other in alphabetical order, with 
appendix at the back. 

No attempt has been made to, in any manner, supplant the 
use of Whites Digest of the S. G. L., and its constant use in 
connection with this digest will be necessary in order to know 
the full extent of the law governing the Order in this Jurisdic- 
tion. 

This work is submitted to the Grand Lodge with the full 
assurance that no effort has been spared that would contribute 
to its perfection and practical usefulness. 

Fraternally Yours, 

GEO. N. BEELS. 
Norfolk, Nebraska, October, 1891.
